PERFUME VAPORIZER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 18, 1908.

Application filed December 4, 1907. Serial No. 405,018.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD J. KEEFER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of North Manchester, in the county of VVabash and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Perfume-Vaporizer, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to apparatus for vaporizing perfumery and other fluids, and its object is to provide a new and improved perfume vaporizer, more especially designed for use in stores and other places, and arranged to enable a customer or other person to test the odor of the fluid, and thus be in a position to make a selection of the goods with the greatest accuracy.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the support for the stopper, and Fig. 4 is a front end view of the air bulb and the support therefor.

A handle A carries a rod B, on which is adjustably secured the discharge nozzle C of an air bulb C, having the usual air inlet therefor C, so that when the bulb C is alternately pressed and released a blast of air is forced out of the nozzle C and onto the side of the stopper D held on a fork E, attached to and projecting sidewise from the rod B, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2. The fork E is provided at its forward end with an offset E, to permit of placing the base end in position on the said offset E for the head or handle D of the stopper D to rest against the under side of the fork E. By the arrangement described the glass stopper D can be readily placed in position on the fork E or removed therefrom whenever it is desired to do so.

In using the device for testing perfumery, for instance, the stopper D for a bottle of perfumery is somewhat moistened with the perfumery and then placed into the fork E, as above described, after which the bulb C is pressed so that a blast of air is forced out of the nozzle C and onto the side of the glass stopper D carrying the perfumery, whereby the air takes up the odor of the perfumery and carries the same along to the customer, who can thus test the perfumery without being perfumed, as the body of the perfumery is not carried along by the air blast but only the odor of the perfume. The bulb C is adjustably attached to the rod B, to permit of bringing the nozzle C into proper alinement with the stopper D carrying the fluid to be tested.

The device is very simple and durable in construction, can be cheaply'manufactured and readily used in stores or other places for sampling perfumery in the manner described.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A perfume vaporizer, comprising a support, a holder for an object adapted to carry a minute quantity of perfumery and pro jecting laterally from the support, and a pivotally mounted air forcing device carried by the support at the side of the same opposite that from which the holder projects with its nozzle extending in the direction of the holder.

2. A perfume vaporizer comprising a support, a holder carried by the support for holding a bottle stopper in an inclined position with its body uppermost, and an air forcing device pivoted to the support with its nozzle extending in the direction of the 'holder.

3. A perfume vaporizer comprising a sup port provided with a fork for carrying a stopper, and an air bulb held on the said support and having its discharge nozzle in line with the side of the body of the said stopper.

4. A perfume vaporizer comprising a handled rod, a fork projecting sidewise from the said rod for removably supporting a stopper, and an air bulb supported at an angle from the said rod and having its discharge nozzle in line with the side of the body of the stop per.

5. A perfume vaporizer comprising a handled rod, a fork projecting sidewise from the said rod and provided with an offset for removably supporting a sto per, and an air bulb supported at an ang e from the said rod and having its discharge nozzle in line with the side of the body of the stopper.

6. A perfume Vaporizer comprising a handle having a rod extending therefrom, a support extending laterally from the rod for supporting a stopper in an inclined position,

5 and an air bulb having its discharge nozzle pivotally mounted in the rod and projecting in direction of the support for the stopper.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of tWo subscribing Witnesses.
